There’s bad news for anyone looking to spend their evening on the couch with a rental video this weekend, after Brisbane’s last video hire store decided to closed its doors.

The Network Video store in Oxley will shut its doors next week, marking the beginning of a new streaming era.

The owner of Oxley’s Network Video, Brenton Snell, was still in good spirits, and even made a dig at the streaming giants, saying  Australia’s poor internet service means there remains “a few years” for remaining video shops.
